A football player threw a ball upward at an angle or 24 degrees with the horizontal with A velocity of 18 m/s. What are the vertical and horizontal components of the ball’s velocity?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]V_y = 16.44\ m/s[/tex]

[tex]V_y = 7.32\ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

Given

[tex]\theta = 24[/tex]

[tex]Velocity\ (V) = 18m/s[/tex]

Required

Determine the vertical and horizontal components

The vertical (Vy) and horizontal (Vx) components is calculated as thus:

[tex]V_x = Vcos\theta[/tex]

[tex]V_y = Vsin\theta[/tex]

Calculating Vertical Components:

[tex]V_y = Vsin\theta[/tex]

[tex]V_y = 18 * sin24[/tex]

[tex]V_y = 18 * 0.40673664307[/tex]

[tex]V_y = 7.32125957526[/tex]

[tex]V_y = 7.32\ m/s[/tex] --- Approximated

Calculating Horizontal Components:

[tex]V_x = Vcos\theta[/tex]

[tex]V_x = 18 * cos24[/tex]

[tex]V_x = 18 * 0.91354545764[/tex]

[tex]V_x = 16.4438182375[/tex]

[tex]V_x = 16.44\ m/s[/tex] --- Approximated
